Here is a cautionary tale for the demanding entitled Kevins out there who don't even realize that they're actively making enemies out of the people who are working for them. You know that there are more of these guys out there than just Pat.

Pat was a friend of a friend to this Redditor, who therefore felt obligated to continue working for him. The Redditor would perform household duties as a side hustle outside of his full-time job. Pat is the kind of guy who would make demands out of nowhere and would expect OP to drop everything to help him in an instant, as if he was just waiting on standby at all times. Of course, he wasn't. He had other clients, and he didn't need Pat's money. That being said, when Pat requested for OP to clear out all the furniture in his office, OP took it upon himself to squeeze as much money out of this guy as possible.

Keep scrolling below to see how OP shadily found out how much another company quoted and how he was able to overcharge Pat while doing very little work himself. For more stories like this, here's another post about a Kevin who claimed he had the right to sue the owners of a store because he slipped.
